Who's up for some practice? - Chase - 10-06-2006

Anyone up to making me a sig with the following pic? Please?

Pic: See above
Text: Toma
Colours: My idea was a sligh monochromatic sig, meaning, the bg is monochrome opposite to the pic and slowly fades into colours as it reaches the pic. Both the pic and text are coloured.

Please and thank you! =D

EDIT: Link fixed.

I thought I'd give it a shot.

I'm still new to photoshop, you can probably make a better one than mine heh.

If you don't like or don't want to use it, don't be afraid to tell me, you won't hurt my feelings. I'd prefer you be honest than lie to my face.

Yeah, it felt plain so I thought I'd do the blur, however if Toma doesn't like it, I can easily fix it and remove it for him/her.

Thank ye for the a abstract comment.

Oh mah gawd!

18 wins!

Sorry, Jr.

Some hints and tips:

For the pic, do this so the white line around him disappears.

1.) Duplicate the layer

2.) Gaussian Blur the bottom 4-5 px

3.) Set the top layer blending options to Overlay


For the text, I suggest going with a 1px black border...


Just some hints.

No biggy.

Thank ye for the future suggestions.

I have to say, though Cell Jr., it's good to see some new talent around here. You've got a knack for it.

Why thank ye, it's nice to be here, too bad I have you to always outmatch me, eh? Tongue

I can't help making sigs when I'm bored. I already planned to make one for Bebi and Toma.

Practice makes perfect. Big Grin

However, you can also go to Jakool Designs and make sigs there. There are sig requests all the time.

And I like your avatar, too.

Not sure if that comment was directed towards me Selipa, but if it was, I thank you.


Who's up for some practice? - Sullivan - 10-06-2006

It was.

Not my best work. I used a method that some may describe as: "He hit a lot of buttons, and used overlay a lot. Oh, and lots of blurs."

But the main thing is, I knew what I was doing when I hit those buttons.

Plus, grayscale-ish FTW.

Just one thing I'd change it...

Make a new layer, and set it to saturation 0, so everythings gray (that's if you stilll have the coloured layers), and apply a layer mask. Then select the layer mask, and apply a black to white gradient starting from the right, towards the left.

Other than that, it's great.

PS. If you do that, I'll use it, and change them once a month or sumthin'...
